Chapter 558: The Royal Family Annihilated Overnight!
Jiujiang Dragon God!
The Divine Spirits of the world govern the rivers and lands of this realm; even after their demise, the dojo remains.
Since the catastrophe of ancient times, there have always been beings who refine the Supreme Town Object within, merging themselves with the dojo, self-proclaiming as the Saint Master.
This time, a giant serpent merged with the Jiujiang Holy Land, transforming into a dragon, and proclaimed itself the new Jiujiang Dragon God!
But as a descendant of Kang Su, the royal bloodline, our clan also preserves this legacy!
This is not a descendant Saint Master who has merged with the dojo!
Instead, through generations of Saint Masters' inheritance, countless Dao Rhythms have condensed, and among them, the Intention of Immortal Gods has influenced the recent generations of Saint Masters.
Since three thousand years ago, there have been Jiujiang Saint Masters who believed that their birth into the world destined them to be the vessel for the returning Jiujiang Dragon God!
In the recent millennium, the Saint Masters of the Jiujiang Holy Land believed themselves to be the reincarnation of the Jiujiang Dragon God.
Until this generation, the will of the Jiujiang Dragon God has already awakened, completely occupying the vessel of this generation's Saint Master!
This is not a serpent transforming into a dragon and proclaiming itself as the God of Jiujiang!
He is the Jiujiang Dragon God who had fallen at the beginning of the great catastrophe!
Now, over the years, within the dojo, he has completely revived!
Various royal clans and even imperial clans are aware of this and wish to form alliances.
Even if a leader of the imperial clan inherits the bloodline or legacy of the Ancient Great God, they are merely descendants of Gods and Demons and may not be able to withstand a true Divine Spirit!
"With the Green Emperor's power waning, if we can form an alliance and gain his support, we will be eligible to hold a weight equivalent to the imperial clan!"
The leader of the Kang Su lineage stood with hands behind his back.
He was dressed in golden robes, having completely assumed human form with no traces of alien features.
Below him were the high-ranking members of the Kang Su lineage, each with a different form.
Some had human forms but still retained traces of the Alien Race, some having horns on their heads, some with scales on their faces, some with sharp fangs, and some with golden eyes and vertical pupils...
Some had taken human shape but still had dragon heads, dragon claws, and dragon tails.
Others had bodies like giant serpents but with human faces.
Beyond them were pure giant serpents of various colors, resembling Demons, but their bloodlines were potent, far exceeding Evil.
"Forming an alliance with the Jiujiang Dragon God is undoubtedly excellent, but now all tribes are restless; I'm afraid the Jiujiang Dragon God might not see us in a favorable light..."
"Our ancestor Kang Jinlong, a divine dragon of the Heavenly Realm, once cared for the Jiujiang Dragon God because of their shared Dragon Clan lineage, and is surely incomparable to other tribes."
"This matter is decided then. Each of you shall select from the Human Clan under your command, remembering only boys and girls under the age of eight..."
"Preferably babies just a month old, for their minds are the purest and their Spiritual Energy the most abundant."
"Only this way can demonstrate our clan's sincerity!"
The leader of the Kang Su tribe declared proudly, "If you fail to gather at least 180,000 boys and girls, don't blame me for severe punishment!"
The many royal clan leaders turned pale, their hearts anxious.
A small portion of the high-ranking members felt pleased, evidently having many newborns among the Humans they recently reared, surely enough in number.
Moreover, the excess children could at least be sold at a high price.
At this crucial moment, exchanging one child for thirty adult men and women shouldn't be difficult!
"Unfortunately, my appetite got the better of me recently, and I consumed quite a few boys and girls, so the number might be lacking. Trading with other high-ranking members of the clan might cost dearly."
Some high-ranking members pondered, "Why not seize the Human Clan from other tribal territories..."
"In many Boundaries, there are wild Human Tribes. In the past, they obediently offered sacrifices, worshipped daily with incense, and made Blood Food offerings every few days."
"Thus, sparing us the trouble of raising them, and allowing them to form so-called tribes in the wild, relying on the blessings left by the Old God..."
"Now that there is a shortage, we might have to invade and destroy each wild Human Tribe, capturing all the boys and girls alive."
"Originally, the thirty-six tribes in the south should have provided quite a few boys and girls."
"Unfortunately, that place has now become a Forbidden Land, and even the previous leader of the Green Emperor Clan died there."
Thinking thus, these high-ranking members of Kang Su looked up at the middle-aged man above.
This leader of the Kang Jinlong Clan, the royal supreme, the Golden Scale King!
"The king's son also died in the south before."
"Originally, the king, in rage, prepared to dispatch powerful clan members to seize this opportunity to exterminate the southern Evil and numerous Human Tribes."
"Later, when that Saint Heir from the imperial clan was exiled south, the matter was dropped."
"Now it seems, fortunately, the king did not send troops; otherwise, our Kang Su lineage would have perished in the south."
"However, the king is now planning to ally with the Jiujiang Dragon God, likely still harboring thoughts of revenge towards the south."
"..."
The Golden Scale King swept his gaze over them and shouted, "Everyone... prepare the boys and girls, gather them within three days!"
"No need for three days!"
At this moment, a faint voice slowly rose.
Starry light appeared, floating around the scene.
The next moment, all the starlight transformed into blade mana, covering all directions, forming a Great Array a hundred miles wide.
A single blade forming a Great Array!
"Enemy attack!"
A high-ranking member of the royal clan shouted!
Then a blood mark appeared on his neck.
His head and body separated, dying instantly!
Beside this royal clan leader, a figure appeared.
To the royal clan of the Kang Su lineage, this was an unfamiliar face.
But he had a third eye on his forehead, exuding immense divine power.
"Such divine power? Are you from the imperial clan?"
The Golden Scale King's expression changed dramatically, saying, "Among the ten great imperial clans, there has never been one with three eyes; are you a newly arisen imperial clan?"
"If one day the Human Clan ascends to the realm of emperors among the world's clans, then I shall be an imperial clan!"
